“Excuse me; sir. I see you’ve only got one ship stationed on this here planet of ours. Well; around here we call that vagrancy; and it’s illegal. So I’m sorry sir; but I’m afraid I’m going to have to write you a ticket.”The galaxy of Cosmic Encounter; like most galaxies; is constantly changing. Just when you think you’ve explored every corner of it and met most of its aliens; you turn around to find that a new star system has just materialized; full of new species with astonishing; wildly unique customs. You’ve learned that when interacting with a strange alien for the first time; its best not to reveal all of your hand at once. If you want to establish colonies in these recently-formed parts of the galaxy; you’ll have to be conceal your true intentions; negotiate with cunning; and be careful not to put your foot into cross-cultural quicksand—or into your mouth.Cosmic Eons; an expansion for Cosmic Encounter; introduces new aliens with abilities unlike any you’ve dealt with so far; but it doesn’t stop there. This expansion features the Hidden Alliances variant; which enables you and your opponents to reveal simultaneously whose side you’re on. With this simple mechanical twist; Cosmic Eons promises not just to open up a new part of the galaxy; but to change how you play the game.
